Collector's Guide
The War Speeches (“Definitive Edition”) repackaged the texts of the original seven, individually-published, wartime volumes of Churchill’s war speeches as a very handsomely produced three-volume set. While “Definitive,” this set was not entirely complete; a handful of speeches deemed to be of “reduced significance” were omitted. Churchill favored greatly the beautiful design of this edition.
Description
This characteristically elaborate Easton Press reprint of “The Definitive Edition” of Churchill’s War Speeches first published in 1952 is bound in full green leather, printed on archival paper with gilded fore-edges, moire satin endpapers, and a silk ribbon page marker.
A virtually mint set.
